^ It just sounds like something a beginner drummer could play. Nothing pro about that.

Well, it's not too complicated - and that's the appeal of it. The in-the-pocket groove. It's like the famed Perdie Shuffle, the feeling of it is just sublime. Same case here, the production especially on the album makes the drums and particularly this rhythm sound even better.

Additionally, i'd like to say that it isn't as easy as you think. A beginner drummer surely won't nail the song. Again, i'm also incorporating the feel and groove of it. The fact he makes it sound seamless is something that the rhythm calls for.

I guess to spot the little intricacies of the drum part I'd have to take a stab at it myself (but I don't have a kit), but I don't hear those little intricacies either.

Oh, well. ... Sucks for me.

I think that giving drumming a try would help the appreciation of the subtleties of the instrument. I guss it's also just a matter of varying taste of what we expect to hear and what we like to enjoy from a drummer. As a member of the Math-Rock Team as well as being a percussionist for 5 years I can assure you that i absolutely love hearing impressive chops and creative rhythms. I just also love hearing simplicity sometimes.

Come on ... compare him to Bill ... or Billy Cobham ... or Buddy Rich.

All 'professional' means is that one earns money from what one does. It's not a measure of actual skill or quality. Insticntly you may think it does, but....it doesn't.

that i exactly what i was about to say,, as redicules it might seem, You could be Bill Bruford an play like virtoustc god but without a paycheck , your an amatour, or you could be as technical as a tree trunk and earn monwy , aka professional.

I have been in a lot of bands that have attempted to play "Get Back" - I've yet to find a drummer who could play it in the same way as Ringo - it sounds simple but getting the right feel to it is deceptively difficult.

"Phil Collins, who was himself influenced by Starr, said; “Ringo is vastly underrated. The drum fills on the song "A Day in the Life" are very complex things. You could take a great drummer today and say, 'I want it like that.' He wouldn't know what to do.”
